EP. 1 Traveling the Erie Canal on a Small Sailboat // North Tonawanda - Medina

Hi! Parker & Katy here. We live aboard our 1979 Allied Seawind II and are currently traveling East on the Erie Canal. This video marks the first of a series of videos chronicling the trip across New York. We begin in North Tonawanda just after having taken down our mast, hauling it with us on deck in order to clear the low bridges on our journey.
